What are inexpensive permits for minor electrical and plumbing installations called?

1. Minor labels

2. Temporary permits

3. Standard permits

4. Basic licenses

The correct answer is: Minor labels

Inexpensive permits for minor electrical and plumbing installations are typically referred to as minor labels. These permits provide a streamlined process for contractors and homeowners to carry out small projects without the extensive requirements associated with larger, more complex installations. The intent behind minor labels is to facilitate minor work while ensuring that safety and regulatory standards are still met, but with a simplified and cost-effective approach. Temporary permits, standard permits, or basic licenses do not specifically denote the low-cost nature or the targeted use for minor projects as effectively as minor labels do. Instead, they may encompass broader categories that may involve more extensive application processes or fees. Therefore, the term minor labels accurately captures the nature of these permits and their intended use for small electrical and plumbing tasks.
